What is an interest only mortgage?

An interest only mortgage is where your monthly payments only cover the interest charged on the balance you owe. Your payments don’t reduce the total amount you owe over time, so when your mortgage reaches the end of its term, you’ll need to repay this to us as a lump sum.

It’s important you’re fully aware of the type of mortgage you have, so you can plan ahead. If you’re unsure, log in to our Self-Serve portal and you can easily find this information on the Account Summary page, under the ‘Repayment type’ header.
